Wrote this a long time ago. Too short for an article:
Perverted - Hentai in Japanese. But the word pervert means
deviation from normal or accepted. So, how can all guys be
perverts?

Did you ever notice that the sex scene in the movie is generally
at about the same realative place as the guitar solo in a song?

IJN Haguro - Myoko Class Heavy Cruiser
I recently bought a very old (20+ years) ship. It is a IJN Myoko Class Heavy Cruiser
that I have decided to call the Haguro because I like the history of the ship.
There were four ships built in this class. The ship came with an ancient HPA
system. It is apparent that the ship was converted from two fast gun styled
fixed guns to a single fixed gun forward and three torpedo tubes on each side.
The ship was built with the torpedo tubes in her pre-refit position (refit 1935-36)
midway up from the waterline on the side of the hull. The class is listed as
Nachi Class in Conways "All the Worlds Fighting Ships 1922-1946".

Here are some pictures of her before (and after) any work was done on her:

How she looked before paint - Photo Stitched Together

How she looked before the Sept 7th battle

Stern/Rudder - Look how much space is here. I could park all the servos here with a little work!

Ideas/Work:
* Work on pump
* Build barrel for front gun.
* Test front gun
* Get front gun mounted
* Get rear gun fixed
* Get rear gun mounted
* Install front deck screw
* repair splitting deck
* patch hull
* patch super structure
* Have forward gun flat forward to 45-90 degrees to each side. Then have it depress
back to over the shoulder shots 135deg max is about right. So if you need depression
you just turn the guns far back and fire. Use some sort of ramp to depress as
the gun turns. This idea sounds solid good for putting holes into torpedo ships
as they make torpedo runs.
